Death, Taxes and England loosing a wicket in the first over

Wonder if Duckett could have done with a pink ball game before this 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

First time in 14 years Lyon has been dropped at Home.

Last time was 3rd Test vs India in the 2011/12 series

Stokes avoids the Nasser call

But will we have a repeat of the first test🤷🏼‍♂️

Nothing new that anyone wasn’t already expected in the England women’s central contracts

Interesting

I wonder how long it will be until we see a Heather Knight retirement

Somerset are not having a great off season
Loosing a coach, Captain and Overseas star, is far from ideal.

To lose one may be regarded as unlucky
To lose two may be regarded as unfortunate
To lose three looks like carelessness
Hampshire Signing Amanda Jade Wellington for next season!!

Taking Wello from Somerset, where she’s essentially been for the last 2 years is a big steal from Hampshire.

Somerset are loosing players quite regularly atm, which isn’t looking good for them

Sydney Thunder top order failing once again.

And yet they continue to have Wilson open and Laura Harris at 7!

Madness really

Heat have once again failed to grasp a winning position and actually win

They had that game sewn up goon into the 19th and just lost it again.

A classy 64 (40) @160 (8x4, 3x6) for Tammy Beaumont to back up her 51 (33) last game.

Almost as if she’s showing she is a T20 opener and shouldn’t be being ignored.

Wow that was a stat and half on TV.

82 dropped catches from 30 games this WBBL season.
That’s madness, that’s more than 2 a game

Grace Harris is just another level.

Splits her hand open, to the point in which she say they can see her tendon. Then just says tape it up, we can sort it out later after the game.

All of this while she is on the player mic!

It’s near on impossible not to love Grace Harris

Jemma Barsby getting Grace Harris out for the 7th time,

That is the joint most times Barsby has got Harris out, alongside Megan Schutt & Sam Bates

Amanda-Jade Wellington 150th WBBL game today.

Wello joins Beth Mooney in 2nd spot, just 4 games away from Jess Jonassen

She’s hasn’t missed a WBBL game

#WBBL11
November 30, 2025 at 1:34 AM
Another classy 50+ for Danni Wyatt-Hodge
And a back in form Nat Sciver-Brunt with 48 ball 81
Caines pick well with them at 2&3, they could very easily win this year*

#WBBL11

*Except for the fact Renegades will beat them

Happy fixtures day everyone

Some good and some not great things out of the womens fixtures

I like the T20 county cup is actually being played across the year, true “FA Cup” style on 1 weekend a month.

Plus the final is on a Saturday in August at the true Home of Cricket- Old Trafford!!

Well I tell I am stunned and shocked at these groups.

India and Pakistan in the same groups.
It’s amazing this draw machine keeps pulling them out in the same group.

25x in a row now, what are the odds on that
November 25, 2025 at 3:43 PM
Listening back to Grace Harris on the player mic today, she wasn’t holding back.

I wonder if we might be finding another Harris leaving Brisbane Heat next season?

The Heat really are having a terrible season this year.

They’re all over the place, struggling with both bat and ball.

Nice and easy win for Melbourne Renegades!
With 9 overs to spare. Solidifies 2nd place with a healthy NRR boost too.

Really not a good day for Sydney Thunder, top order failing once again and when they fail to fire the team just can not recover it.
Laura Harris isn’t helping either

#WBBL11
November 23, 2025 at 1:17 AM
Sydney Thunder all out for 64!!

This 102 ball format might catch on

Melbourne Renegades going along nicely for an early finish, so I can get a full nights sleep.

This is why I love this team

If you ever want an example of exactly how to referee a Rugby game, watch Hollie Davidson in this game.

She is hands down one of if not the best Rugby Referee in the world right now.

Fair play Wales!!

You did that very very well

Take note other countries (*cough* England *cough*) that’s how you treat the Haka!!
